Stephen F. Austin stunned Duke on a buzzer-beating layup by Nathan Bain in overtime Tuesday night, giving the Lumberjacks the sport's biggest Division I upset win in 15 years.
Gavin Kensmil picked up a loose ball in the final seconds and passed it to Bain at the Lumberjacks' own foul line; Bain then dribbled it the length of the court to finish a layup at the buzzer.
The Blue Devils were favored by 27.5 points at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, surpassing Gardner-Webb's upset win over Kentucky in 2007, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
